I keep my to-do list, incoming phone messages, instructions from my manager and all my notes from meetings, as well as ideas for things to do during down time, in a single spiral notebook. That way everything is in one place and I don’t have post-it notes all over my desk, phone messages laying loose, and ideas lost because I never wrote them down. The spiral notebook is good because it lays flat, and I can use flags on certain pages to remind me where a certain subject is located. I also update my to-do list periodically as things get crossed off so it’s not just a list of things checked off mixed with the ones still needing to be done. A lot of people write their lists at the end of every day, but I find I only need to do it about once a week.
